Next generation of flight may be slower, cheaper, faster.
Byline: Tom Roeder
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. _ In the next century of flight, Buck Rogers will get an accounting degree.
Experts say the return on investment will outweigh the flashy "gee whiz" physics that propelled the world through the sky, into orbit and beyond.
The next space vehicles will be about as sexy as a Dodge minivan.
People shouldn't count on buying tickets for the next generation of streamlined, supersonic passenger jets for a long time. The Concordes of the past will give way to Hyundais of the air, planes cheap to build, cheap to fly and cheap to maintain.
That's been a trend for some time.
The Boeing Co., America's largest manufacturer of passenger jets, dumped a plan for a sleek airliner dubbed the "Sonic Cruiser" in favor of the 7E7, a lightweight, cheap-to-fly version of current planes. The next version of NASA's space shuttle fits the same profile.
